Fudge Nut Brownies Recipe

There's no brownie recipe or mix I've ever tried that's better than this! And it's so easy—you can mix it in one bowl in just a few minutes. My husband's grandmother passed the recipe on; now our son makes these brownies for after-school snacks. —Becky Albright, Norwalk, Ohio

"These are the absolute best brownies!!! I left out the nuts though. I did them by hand. I mixed the oil, sugar, eggs and vanilla together really well with a whisk (to break up clumps) 1st. Then whisked the cocoa (rounded 3/4 c.) in. The stirred in the rest of the dry,... I was very careful not to incorporate air in to the batter, as I hate cake-like brownies. Also, I used 1c. white flour and 1/3 whole wheat flour,.. you could not tell at all, next time I may try it with even more whole wheat flour.

It took 23 minutes in my preheated oven in a glass 13x9.

These were the perfect amount of sweet!

I use a combination of black cocoa with a little regular.

They were perfectly fudgy, but competely done! I have never found this perfect combination till now!!! I am going to copies of this, so I never lose it! :o)"

"Apparently I did something wrong, as these brownies were dry and not as sweet as others I've baked. My oven was not off temp, as I have two oven thermometers inside to double check it. It was a quick and easy preparation, but I was disappointed in the results, given all the great reviews. I'll choose the box when I'm rushed next time."
